TRUMP LIVING RAYGUN FANTASIES

I think Trump's simply the culmination of decades of conservative propaganda and brain washing.

I just noticed a post by Mark Hertsgaard at The Nation related to my contention:Progressives Need to Build Their Own Media"Trump would not be president today were it not for the help of Fox, Breitbart, Limbaugh, & Co."

The far right are fawning over their Donald sighing collectively, "I'm lovin' it."

But I know some on the not so far right are unhappy. Really, I personally know conservatives who are upset that a buffoon like Trump is our president. But I don't get it. How can you love Reagan and hate Trump? How different are they?

The Ronald cut taxes on the rich, fought for deregulation of banks and industry, and escalated military spending…tripling the deficit. The Donald sounds a lot like Reagan to me. Trump was spewing the same BS at CPAC a few days ago, advocating the same disastrous policies. You know CPAC, the annual heart-sickening conservative freak show.

The only price we have to pay for conservative leadership is death and destruction to people and the environment, and decades of economic ruin. And of course the blow back from our decades long killing spree and economic exploitation of global resources for the benefit of the super wealthy. All perpetrated with help and support from the DNC.

The good news about The Trump Administration is that the facade that we had a functioning representitive government is history. We have been screwed all along, but now only the woefully, or willfully, blind fail to see it.

We should all hope our government continues its spectacular and absurd dumbshow.

For more about this horrible good news watch Henry Giroux and Paul Jay discuss the Trump-Bannon-Pence administration, and its naked display of the 1% ruling without apologies and damn what comes tomorrow:

Scott Pruitt, a soulless advocate for the worst polluters on the planet, has become head of the EPA, which will now morph from being the toothless U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, to EPAC, the unapologetic Extreme Polluting Assholes Club.

The waste and fraud perpetrated by the for-profit health care industry has to end. A robust socialized medicine system is the only sensible and sustainable solution to what has become a national disaster and humanitarian disgrace.

Here's another interview with a doctor who is fed up with corporately controlled health care.

Q: WHY ARE SPIES POKING THE BEAR?

A: PEOPLE PAY TO SEE BEAR BAITING

We all should be wary not afraid of the new Red Scare.

War profiteers love military escalation. Period. Peace is the last thing the Military and Intelligence Industrial Complex desires. The bloated DoD and its black ops brethren in the surveillance state departments are a grotesque Ponzi Scheme sold to U.S. citizens through propaganda, so they willingly pour more and more money into it. War industries make HUGE profits for supplying grief and destruction, when they are not being overpaid to provide nothing. What an amazing scam and a horrible waste of resources.

"Bipartisan allegations that Trump is a 'puppet' of or 'compromised' by the Kremlin have grown into latter-day McCarthyism with grave threats to America and the world.

Meanwhile, Cohen can find no facts or logic to support the following six related allegations leveled against Trump as having been (implicitly) treasonously “compromised” by Putin’s Kremlin..."

"It’s hard to put into words how strange it is to watch the very same people — from both parties, across the ideological spectrum — who called for the heads of Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning, Tom Drake, and so many other Obama-era leakers today heap praise on those who leaked the highly sensitive, classified SIGINT information that brought down Gen. Flynn."

"The American people have to know that there's a game going on inside the intelligence community where there are those who want to separate the U.S. from Russia in a way that would reignite the Cold War," Kucinich said. "That's what's at the bottom of all this. It's early in the morning, it's Valentine's Day, but wake up America!"

"Former FBI agent and whistleblower Coleen Rowley says there's a difference between leaking and whistleblowing, and it's likely that the former took place in the ongoing power struggle between the deep state and the executive branch of government."Did the Deep State Facilitate Flynn's Resignation?

ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL

President Trump’s “Great Wall” ignores a key reason why desperate Mexicans and Central Americans flee north – the history of U.S. military and economic intervention that has created poverty and repression, notes William Blum.

I FEEL HAPPY

I'm seeing everything pretty clearly now. Trump's plans to empower and protect the little people who supported him start with giving more power to billionaires and cronies. That's never worked before, but our new president seems special.
